Assertion: The moment of inertia of a body depends on the manner, in which mass is distributed about the axis of rotation.
Reason: Moment of inertia of a body will be more, if heavier mass is distributed away from the axis of rotation and lighter mass near it.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because the moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution, and distributing heavier mass further from the axis increases it.
